But was it curiosity that killed the cat or was it already dead?

But Justin Long is Apple signed. Once you're apple signed you're not allowed to work on any non apple hardware. Therefore I can assure you we will not be waiting a justin long.

Must have been hard to come up with that one.

Really? I couldn't see it. this is what i saw

Let's try an example. Kings of Leon is enjoying some pretty good success right now with songs from their most recent album reaching the top 5 of Billbaord, Hot 100, and other charts. But the band formed in 1999. For for the better part of a decade they were only "good" to a small number as you put it. But then how did they suddenly jump out of relative obscurity to the top of mainstream charts?

As is the common theme is monopoly suits, it depends on what you define the market as. If the market is hardware that can legally run Mac OS X, then Apple most certainly does have a monopoly. Besides, I said monopolistic tendencies, inferring that it COULD become a problem.

How much money will you make on sales of your hardware/software that prints "hello world" and how much will you make by suing everyone that infringes on your copyrighted software running on non approved hardware as they write their first code that prints "hello world"? I'm interested in your business model.

Yet if MS tried the same tactic of requiring MS branded hardware, the whole world would cry foul. Sounds like monopolistic tendencies in the EULA.

I thought this was a bash Microsoft thread, not a bash Google thread. Must have missed something.

So you want to bring The Hunger Games to a town near you, instead of a theater near you? I like it.

You're referring to this. It's a reality and available now.

Wow, what did we ever do without email? Yes, now it is used for a great many things, but have you really forgotten how to get someone to sign-off on a procedure without an email being involved? You'd think nothing ever got done pre-interwebs. My work (government contractor) is currently on week 3 with no internet connection, and yet it's business as usual. You're foolish to think a couple hours of downtime for your email server is that catastrophic.

Wow, that's a pretty long walk.

I narrowed my choice of nuclear plants to US commercial very carefully to help show that we can and will be afraid of just about anything that gives us reason. While the US Commercial Nuke field has had zero deaths or explosions, thats not to say they have not happened in a broader range of nuclear power plants, obviously. The US actually has at least 3 deaths that I know of from an explosion of a nuclear power plant, it just happened to be military (see SL-1), not commercial. I understand you said stupid and illogical, and just provided something else to have a stupid illogical fear of. And when I said anything can blowup, i really mean almost anything, nuke plants included. We all just have to pick and choose which ones we are willing to live near/with. I for one will never live near a place that stores molasses, and may not want to live too close to a brewery either, now that I know about the London Beer Flood that took 9 lives (8 from drowning, 1 from alcohol poisoning).
